Illustrative example · not an actual demo result
| Time / speaker | Original (Spanish) | English translation |
|---|---|---|
| 00:12 · Speaker 1 | ¿Cómo preparas cada entrevista? | How do you prepare for each interview? |

Review a podcast translation before sharing
- Check the original transcript first. A misheard guest name or number can carry through to the translation.
- Compare the translation with the original in context, especially jokes, idioms, and specialist terms. Ask a fluent reviewer to check passages you plan to publish.
- Use the reviewed text to prepare bilingual show notes or reading material. Keep the original audio available so readers can revisit the conversation.
Start with a clear MP3, M4A, or WAV recording. Background music and overlapping voices can make both transcription and translation harder to review.

FAQ
Does this translate podcast audio or create dubbed speech?
This demo transcribes your uploaded podcast audio, then translates its segments into written text. You can compare the original and translation side by side. It does not generate a dubbed audio track.
How much podcast audio can I try for free?
Try up to 2 minutes total, shared across audio and video transcription and translated-transcript demos. This is a lifetime demo allowance, not a new allowance per file or page. Processing uses your remaining allowance. For longer recordings, create a JotMe account; account minutes and plan limits apply.
Can I paste a Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or RSS link?
This demo accepts uploaded audio files. It does not import podcast links. Use an audio file you own or have permission to process.
Which podcast files can I upload?
Upload a supported audio recording such as MP3, WAV, M4A, AAC, FLAC, OGG, or OPUS. The upload tool checks your file before processing.
How do I choose the translation language?
Choose a target language in the demo, upload your audio, and confirm. The spoken source language is detected automatically. Review names, technical terms, and overlapping speech against the original recording.
How do I translate a podcast to English?
Select English in the translation language menu, upload your podcast audio, then review and confirm the preview. The results show the original transcript alongside the English translation. You can choose another target language from the same menu.
Can I listen to a translated podcast in this demo?
This page produces written translations of uploaded recordings. It does not play a translated voice or translate a podcast live while you listen. Use it when you want to read and compare the episode in two languages.
Can I use a translated transcript for show notes?
Use reviewed translated passages as source material when writing show notes for another audience. Check names, idioms, and quotations in both languages first. This demo returns transcript segments; you write and publish the show notes separately.
